Yorkshire batsman Anthony McGrath has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket with immediate effect.
Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire's director of cricket, added: "Anthony McGrath has been a great servant to Yorkshire County Cricket Club. "It has been a privilege to play with and coach Anthony. He has given every ounce of blood, sweat and tears to the county and his role within the dressing room will be sadly missed. "He is the perfect role model for any aspiring junior wanting to be the best they can be. The way he inspires those around him is his distinct quality. "I would like to wish him well in the future and hope that he will continue his connection to the club through his coach education qualifications and programme."
